D-ribose is found in all foods.
It is also produced in the body by the pentose phosphate pathway.
There is no evidence of deficiencies of it.

There is evidence not to take not to take D-Ribose, at least in the long term.
Gavage of D-Ribose induces Aβ-like deposits, Tau hyperphosphorylation as well as memory loss and anxiety-like behavior in mice
These results demonstrate that a long-term oral administration of D-Ribose not only induces memory loss with anxiety-like behavior, but also elevates Aβ-like deposition and Tau hyperphosphorylation, presenting D-Ribose-gavaged mouse as a model for age-related cognitive impairment and diabetic encephalopathy.
